Tampa may be a little cheaper but I haven't looked there.

I bought a house on the water with a pool, jacuzzi and boat dock for the same mortgage that I had in Lees Summit, Mo. Now I have additional expenses of pool, boat dock upkeep, increased property taxes and flood/hurricane insurance but thats not a deal breaker financially for most people. Its still doable for anyone who would like to give up the snow/ice for the beaches. Mostly due to the low interest rates so if your thinking, pull the trigger.
